For my final project, I originally intended to have the person be in an old ship and it would cruise along a river. While the person is going down the river, they would see the multiple historical monuments on the side of the boat. However, I found it challenging to find specific models for each of the monuments such as big ben, the statue of liberty, Eiffel Tower, etc. When I came into work on the first work day, I started to brainstorm some ideas for possible project ideas and I thought it would be interesting to work outside of earth, space. I started to work with the basics such as creating a platform and a background for the VR space. I originally made the platform a flat moon texture but instead I found a Blender model of a Mars landscape. The background would always be a picture of space but filled with a multitude of stars. Afterwords, I would then begin to integrate planets and different looks for each of those planets to help make them each distinctive with different textures. With finishing up putting lighting and textures on the planets, I wanted to make the space feel more crowded and have people or things in it to have the audience feel like there are other beings around them. So I decided to include ufo's and these giant alien figures. I wanted to play with the size of these giants to help give them like a celestial feeling to them.
